If you are anywhere between the AL-71 corridor and Main Street, or out toward Sand Mountain, we cover it, along with the rest of Jackson County.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Pisgah homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

Up on the plateau the thermometer reads several degrees colder than the valley, and it stays below freezing longer. Ice storms are a real planning item here, not a novelty.
Ice in the screen track jams the panel, and forcing a screen door out of frozen track is the most common way people bend a screen frame past the point of straightening.
Wind gets behind a screen panel and pushes it out of the track, and on hinged screen and storm doors a gust catching the door is what tears closers out of the frame.
It is why the same repair done properly in Pisgah lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Pisgah: ice and sleet and storm wind — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered. On the mountain we check weatherstrip condition carefully, because repeated hard freezes make it brittle long before it looks worn.
- Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly.
- Rescreen with correct tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet.
- Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Pisgah
Pricing on screen door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Pisgah.

Can a bent screen frame be straightened?
Sometimes. Light aluminum frames can often be brought back to square, but a badly racked frame is usually better replaced, and a custom panel is not expensive.
The screen slides hard even though it is not falling out. What is wrong?
Either the rollers have seized or the track is packed with debris. In Pisgah the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
Can you make a screen that keeps out the tiny biting insects?
Yes, fine no-see-um mesh. It has a much tighter weave, and in the parts of Jackson County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
Do you repair storm doors as well as screens?
Yes, including closers, latches, sweeps, hinges and glass or screen inserts. Storm door closers that have torn out of the frame after a gust are one of the most common calls.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Pisgah take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Pisgah. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
